Erickson replied that he thought it was a shirt. When the police officer told him that it was not, he replied, “Maybe a bungee cord?” Eventually the police officer told Erickson that the weapon was Heitholt’s own belt. Erickson replied, “I don’t remember that at all.” After much prodding by investigators, Erickson eventually told police that he and Ferguson robbed Heitholt for drinking money. In March 2004, Erickson and Ferguson were arrested and charged with the murder.
